The Ming court's partition of the Wa State, now known as Suihai Province, quickly came to an end, and at a time when domestic reforms were becoming increasingly tense, the various departments seemed to have found an outlet, and one after another government decrees were quickly chūtái as if they were effortless, and then promulgated through the cabinet.
The newspaper was in full swing, and for ten days it was all about the imperial court's conquest of the Japanese kingdom, especially the new version of the map, which was unprecedentedly expanded, and the layout included the boundless, unfamiliar territory of the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, including the sea, as if the endless islands, and then the ānnán, Phnom Penh {Cambodia}, the unimaginable size.
It's okay not to look at it, but at a glance, even some high-ranking officials of the imperial court are in a trance, and unconsciously, does the Ming Dynasty have such a big territory?
This aroused considerable excitement among the people, and for a time there was a great uproar about Zhu Xu's gēgōngsòngdé, covering up all the noise.
Some of the old ministers in the Wanli period, especially some military generals who had already paid tribute to the generalissimo, saw the tears, and they passed the Generalissimo's Mansion to ask Zhu Xu to be honored to show merit and comfort Emperor Shenzong.
This honorific title is twenty-eight characters long, which in a nutshell is: Emperor Saint Tak Maowu.
This incident attracted some discussion in the imperial court, thinking that Zhu Xu should have a more significant holy name in order to match his martial arts.
The final result is Zhu Xu's sentence for the sake of the end.
'Is it my great joy, or are you happy to ask for a reward?'
’ This sentence blocked the court from the next sentence, and it was uncomfortable, and this matter could not be resolved.
Some secret rumors still continued, accusing the imperial court of not going to war at this time, wasting money and food, and starting a war just to satisfy the emperor's ambitions, but I don't know how many soldiers were killed and how many victims were waiting to be fed.
Regarding these, Zhu Xu only mentioned a sentence in the transcript of the reply to Chen Qiyu, the governor of Nanzhili: It is too early to discuss merit and demerit, and we will look at it in three or five years.
But this incident did greatly boost the morale of the Ming Dynasty due to natural disasters, the 'New Deal', etc.
Among the government and the opposition, there is even a small voice, that is, the crusade against Myanmar, the shame of being invaded during the Wanli period.
This kind of voice is very marketable, and some big figures in the government and the opposition believe that this war can divert domestic attention and relieve the pressure of natural disasters and reforms.
Fortunately, Sun Chuanting and others still have reason, and they were not swayed by this voice, and they immediately expressed their attitude, and the cabinet is determined to push forward the 'New Deal' in the next two or three years, and will not start another war.
All in all, because of the annexation of the Wa Kingdom, the morale of the Ming Dynasty was greatly boosted, and the government and the opposition were surging.
In early October, Zhou Yingqiu, a special envoy of the Qianqing Palace and an assistant minister of the Cabinet, boarded a ship in Tianjin, headed for Tsushima Island, and then took a naval ship to Edo.
At this time, Yang Sichang was already in Edo, and he was sorting out the whole of the Wa Kingdom, whether it was surrender, uprising, or self-care to participate in the downfall, and finally accepted the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
Among them, some people can see the general trend clearly and obediently hand over military power, but naturally there are also stubborn people who need to be requisitioned by force.
In addition, the need to control the more than 100,000 troops who surrendered and revolted, Yang Sichang, Dolgon and others really wasted a lot of effort.
When Zhou Yingqiu set out from Tsushima Island, Yang Sichang, Dolgon, Badali, Matsudaira Nobutsuna, Date Masamune and others sent Ming Zheng Tiānhuáng Xingzi to Edo Inner Lake.
Xingzi was dressed in a kimono, surrounded by a group of palace maids, and behind him were the military guards of the Ming Dynasty, and on the lake, there was the navy of the Ming Dynasty, and Cao Bianjiao had already gone ashore and waited.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna stood in front of Xingzi, his expression was complicated, and he still said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the survival of the Japanese country depends on you, please take care!"
” Xingzi's pretty face is even more complicated, too many things have happened in just one month, and she still can't buffer it.
Xingzi is surrounded by her mother and son, this queen of Hou Mizuo Tiānhuáng is really fateful, not only did she not die, but she was not even seriously injured, and she was already half healed.
She stood beside Xingzi and gently pulled Xingzi's arm.
Hezi is also going to follow Daming, and his expression is calm.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna hesitated for a moment, but still said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, we are still fighting with the Ming Dynasty, if we can keep your imperial title, the Wa Kingdom will still be there, you, please work hard!"
” Matsudaira Nobutsuna's meaning is very clear, that is, to rely on Xingzi to go to the Ming Dynasty to win the heart of the Ming Emperor.
Xingzi pursed his lips, his heart was complicated, and he said softly, "I know." ” Matsudaira Nobutsuna didn't dare to say more, and slowly retreated.
"Upload it."
Kazuko whispered.
Xingzi looked at the direction of Edo again, where the green smoke was still rising, and after such a long time, it still hadn't been cleaned up, and it was no longer the Luoyang she had in her previous impression.
She didn't look at Matsudaira Nobutsuna and the others, these people who were familiar and strange in the past are really strangers now.
Xingzi finally boarded the ship, and under the personal escort of Cao Bianjiao, set sail for the sea and returned to Beijing.
Zhou Yingqiu did not take the waterway, but went ashore in the Guanmen Strait, escorted by Li Dingguo all the way, and rushed to Edo.
He is a Qincha, and it stands to reason that he should hurry up, but in fact, he walks up and does not look at it, and is making on-the-spot observations all over the country.
Because there is no post station, and the road is not good, they stop and go, and they are more slow.
The carriage swayed, Zhou Yingqiu looked at Li Dingguo on horseback, and said, "There is no cement road, no official road, no post station, and the country really needs to be renovated." ” If you don't have something, once you have it, it means that you can make a lot of money.
Zhou Yingqiu is a pragmatic egoistic person, and he has already seen how much silver the cabinet can make in the treasury.
Li Dingguo leaned over slightly, signaling that he was listening.
Zhou Yingqiu was very curious about this closed disciple of Sun Chengzong, and after finishing speaking, he suddenly said: "I heard that you were introduced to Sun Ge by the emperor?"
” Li Dingguo said: "To be precise, it is Princess Yongning." ” Zhou Yingqiu looked at Li Dingguo's face, thought about his age, smiled knowingly, and didn't say anything more.
Li Dingguo has been in the army for many years and doesn't like to speak, Zhou Yingqiu doesn't speak, and he won't talk.

But then Li Dingguo raised his head violently and said: "My lord sit down for a while, it should be another group of bandits who have gathered together, and they will come when they go." ” Zhou Yingqiu's face was as usual, sitting in the carriage, stable as usual.
I don't know how many waves this is, the order of the Wa Kingdom has been destroyed, the new order has not been established, and the Wa Kingdom is now in chaos.
In less than two quarters of an hour, Li Dingguo went and returned, and said, "My lord, I have already run away, you can continue on the road." ” Zhou Yingqiu said 'um', and then sighed with emotion: "There are too many people in the Japanese country, so we have to send some out." ” Li Dingguo glanced at him and didn't say much.
Li Dingguo had already heard that Zhou Yingqiu had suggested in the cabinet that some disobedient people in the Wa Kingdom should be exiled to the south of Luzon.
It is said that the Combined Fleet discovered a large desert island there a few years ago, and there were some barbarians on it, and there was not even a country official.
The Combined Fleet has built several strongholds, and more merchant ships are coming and going, but there are still too few people, and a large number of people are needed to clear the wasteland.
Obviously, Zhou Yingqiu thinks that these Japanese people are very suitable.
